Call from Africa to sisters in Christ..

Though my siblings in Christ might like to respond to this - provided it's not for personal use. This one turned up today in bulk mail. They should get points for trying don't you think? There must be some suckers out there fall for it - otherwise why would they bother? Maybe I'll send a copy to Tony Blair and the rest of them. VANITY OF VANITIES. (At least this one can spell a bit. Not so sure about the grammar.) Cheers.

Subject: Trust in God.Dearly Beloved In Christ,

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am former Mrs Saidat Aisha Okondu, now Mrs. Mary Okondu, a widow to late Mr Issac AhmedOkondu, I am 70 years old, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast. From all indications, my condition is serious and is quite obvious that I may not live more than six months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe state and my doctor has told me this. My late Husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of our marriage we had a son, who also died in an autocrash.

My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. As my doctor told me that I may not live for more than six months, I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of the inherited wealth, by contributing to the development of evangelism in part of the world.

This mission which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently relocated to Nigeria, Africa where I live presently. I selected you after visiting the website for this purpose and prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of US$10.000,000.00(Ten Million USD) to your Ministry for the development of evangelism and also as aids for the less privileged around you.

Please note that, this fund is lying with a Security Company and my family lawyer will file an immediate application for the transfer of the money in the name of your ministry. Please, do not reply me if you Have the intention of using this fund for personal use.

Lastly, I want your ministry to keep praying for me as regarding my health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth recently that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ in one's life is Vanity upon vanity. If you have to die says the Lord, keep fit and I will give you the crown of life.

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you now and forevermore. AMEN.
